Aamina Sheikh, known for her exceptional acting talent, is not only celebrated for her compelling performances but also for her unwavering commitment to promoting arts and culture.
During an interview with MomKast, Aamina Sheikh talked about that she planned to put her career on hold and focus only on her children.
Aamina said, “I would shoot a scene and I would nurse my daughter in between then I would go back to shooting, Nursing is such a big commitment on your body, so I wasn’t getting any break by feeding in between scenes, I was basically running a double shift.”
“After that, obviously her schooling and her routine became a priority. I also had to face some other challenges in life due to which I had to put my work aside and figure out the way forward, for myself and for my child, hence my move to Dubai.” Sheikh added.
Recalling the difficult decision she had to make as a working mother, Aamina Sheikh shares,
“And for a while, I had to choose what takes priority here? My child, and her future, or my passion? And I chose her. I took that break. I had to really redesign things and reestablish my family, my ground. I put work on the back burner and Alhumdulliah I could, monetarily speaking, because many women don’t have that option or support in their marriage, or are financially challenged. Well, I had that support from my parents and having worked so much and been so financially mindful all my life.”
After a long break, Aamina Sheikh is making a return to the spotlight with an exciting new project. She will soon be seen in Netflix’s upcoming series Jo Bachay Hain Sang Samait Lo.
